MANILA, Philippines— The Department of Transportation on Tuesday reminded couples who are driving to focus on the road and not the passengers.

“Pasintabi lang po, Ma’am and Sir. Ayaw po namin maging KJ at makasira sa lambingan moments ninyo. We understand you love each other. PERO, LOVE DIN PO NAMIN KAYO, AND WE WANT YOU TO BE SAFE,” the agency wrote on its social media page.

(Please excuse us, Ma’am and Sir, we don’t want to be kill joy and destroy your romantic moments. We understand you love each other but we also love you and we want you to be safe.)

The transport agency stressed that it’s alright to share romantic moments but it should be done in a safe place, time and manner.

(Remember: If you’re driving, the focus should be on the road and not on your passenger. Sometimes it’s okay not to pay attention to your girlfriend, but not the steering wheel. No bitter feelings. Just love.)

The DOTr made the reminder after a viral video of Facebook page Carbrazzer.tv featured a minute-long compilation of videos of an unidentified couple who appears to record themselves while driving.

The video, now with over a million views, showed the couple sharing light moments inside the car – kissing, hugging, dancing and goofing around while driving and sometimes without seatbelt.

In view of this, the DOTr said they already submitted the viral video to the Land Transportation Office for investigation and for right course of action.

Last month, the LTO revoked the driver’s license of a motorist whose video showing himself driving from a passenger seat and smoking inside his car went viral.

President Duterte is seeking common ground with Beijing on the planned joint exploration in Philippine waters and has not abandoned the 2016 arbitral court ruling favoring the Philippine position on the South China Sea, Malacañang told Vice President Leni Robredo yesterday.

Malacañang on Saturday slammed Vice President Leni Robredo for criticizing President Rodrigo Duterte’s openness to ignore the Philippines’ legal victory in the South China Sea and seal an energy deal with Beijing, saying she needs new advisers who can comprehend the maritime row.

The US Navy said that one of its destroyers had sailed close to the Chinese-controlled Paracel Islands in the South China Sea on Friday, asserting international freedom of navigation rights in the contested waters.

Under Philippine law, President Rodrigo Duterte does not have the authority to "set aside" the July 2016 ruling issued by the Permanent Court of Arbitration, Supreme Court Senior Associate Antonio Carpio said.
